Tal Clark, CEO of Instant Financial
The cost-of-living crisis crosses borders; last year more than double the number of Americans said they were short of money before payday – 51% against 24% in 2018. In 2022, 79% of Americans said they would be more interested in applying for a job that offers payments to them the same day they work – 30% more than in 2018. Earned wage access could be the solution to the problem. Robin Amlôt of IBS Intelligence speaks to Tal Clark of Instant Financial about his belief that fee-free access to pay is a right, not a privilege.
